Penn State (-6.5) at Michigan State

Mark Dantonio is 7-3 against Penn State and 4-1 against James Franklin.  I would be shocked if he won this game.

He can get angry all he wants about outsiders questioning his allegiances, but his loyalty has cost this team a shot at a special season. There is no debating that.

The only way his team has a chance in pulling the upset is if the Nittany Lions just fail to show up defensively.

I don’t see that happening, but I do think it will be close in the first half.

Penn State pulls away in the third and wins 27-9.

Now, can the Wildcats upset the Hawkeyes?
